""Simple Coding: Unleashing the Power of Programming for Non-Engineers"" challenges the notion that coding is exclusively for tech experts, opening the door to a world where anyone can harness the potential of programming. This accessible guide focuses on demystifying programming concepts, introducing user-friendly coding tools, and exploring practical applications for everyday life. By emphasizing hands-on learning and real-world applications, the book demonstrates how coding can enhance problem-solving abilities, automate routine tasks, and even lead to the creation of simple yet useful applications. The book progresses logically, starting with programming fundamentals and moving on to explore beginner-friendly languages like Python and Scratch. It introduces readers to visual programming environments and no-code platforms, showcasing how these tools can bridge the gap between traditional coding and intuitive problem-solving. What sets this book apart is its focus on accessibility and practicality, emphasizing coding as a tool for solving everyday problems rather than delving into complex theoretical concepts. Throughout the journey, ""Simple Coding"" incorporates interactive elements and provides numerous examples of how readers can apply their new skills, from automating work tasks to creating simple games or personal budget trackers. By the end, readers will have gained not just knowledge, but the confidence to explore the world of programming further, empowering non-engineers to harness the power of code in their daily lives.

While Russian computer scientists are notorious for their interference in the 2016 US presidential election, they are ubiquitous on Wall Street and coveted by international IT firms and often perceive themselves as the present manifestation of the past glory of Soviet scientific prowess. Drawing on over three hundred in-depth interviews, the contributors to From Russia with Code trace the practices, education, careers, networks, migrations, and lives of Russian IT professionals at home and abroad, showing how they function as key figures in the tense political and ideological environment of technological innovation in post-Soviet Russia. Among other topics, they analyze coders' creation of both transnational communities and local networks of political activists; Moscow's use of IT funding to control peripheral regions; brain drain and the experiences of coders living abroad in the United Kingdom, United States, Israel, and Finland; and the possible meanings of Russian computing systems in a heterogeneous nation and industry. Highlighting the centrality of computer scientists to post-Soviet economic mobilization in Russia, the contributors offer new insights into the difficulties through which a new entrepreneurial culture emerges in a rapidly changing world.

Deep learning is often viewed as the exclusive domain of math PhDs and big tech companies. But as this hands-on guide demonstrates, programmers comfortable with Python can achieve impressive results in deep learning with little math background, small amounts of data, and minimal code. How? With fastai, the first library to provide a consistent interface to the most frequently used deep learning applications. Authors Jeremy Howard and Sylvain Gugger, the creators of fastai, show you how to train a model on a wide range of tasks using fastai and PyTorch. You’ll also dive progressively further into deep learning theory to gain a complete understanding of the algorithms behind the scenes. Train models in computer vision, natural language processing, tabular data, and collaborative filtering Learn the latest deep learning techniques that matter most in practice Improve accuracy, speed, and reliability by understanding how deep learning models work Discover how to turn your models into web applications Implement deep learning algorithms from scratch Consider the ethical implications of your work Gain insight from the foreword by PyTorch cofounder, Soumith Chintala
